Turn your break from the city into a creative play date with Mother Nature. One of the best things about Botanical Garden Wear is that it’s fun, easy, and can be done in the great outdoors! So go grab a t-shirt and see what Mother Nature has to offer.

Things you will need to make this shirt: Stencil1 Sprayers, t-shirt, the great outdoors, cardboard, Holiday Cocktail (optional)

Step 1. Start by placing t-shirt on a flat surface. Remove any debris that is visible on the shirt.

Stencil1 Sprayers are great for fabric and paper projects!

Step 2. Place ferns, leaves, or flowers in the position for the desired design.

Step 3. Spray Stencil1 Sprayers lightly over ferns equally. Here’s a high speed video to show you how easy it is!

Step 4. After a few minutes, slowly remove the fern and check out your new wardrobe.

Use hairdryer to dry the t-shirt, otherwise shirt will remain wet for a long period of time.

Before wearing the t-shirt, make sure to iron it with a piece of fabric between the iron and the t-shirt.

 

Snap a picture of it, and share it with us @Stencil1!

 

 


 

We are very excited to be featured in the Summer 2015 issue of Artists & Makers Magazine, published by F+W media! It’s humbling to be among so many other great creatives with entrepreneurial spirit in this issue such as Drew Trophy and Kirsten Lepore. We love this magazine since it covers art, business and those making their career using their creative talents.

We had a sweet time at the Stencil1 Demo & DIY event with West Elm Market! To announce that West Elm Market is carrying our new Repeat Pattern stencils we did a demo showing the versatility of a stencil.  The West Elm display crew stenciled this beautiful wall with our Chevron stencil…

I demonstrated how to use fabric paint to stencil some West Elm napkins.

I used Tulip SOFT fabric paint. Once you heat seal and wash your napkins, the painted areas become soft, it’s quality fabric paint.

I did the repeat process while the attendees got a chance to be creative with our smaller patterns.

We used ClearSnap ink pads, stencil brushes and our geometric designs as well as some bird stencils. All ages were getting into it!
